Table enteries with comma seperated content[edit]

The table row 'Known biomarkers' have multiple biomarkers in each entry.

We coudl sort these alphabetically and then you would be able to sort the row to some degree, but this is still not ideal.

Does any one have an idear for how to make this row more sortable without making the table bigger? Claes Lindhardt (talk) 07:02, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some notes on precision and scope[edit]

Hi! @Claes Lindhardt and @Sergioo Hernandeez.

Thanks for all the work in the page!

I think that pulling markers from HuBMAP is an interesting idea, but I really do not think we should be pulling their data automatically at this point!

Classifying cell types is quite hard, and not all types used by HuBMAP are in fact consolidated. Katy and the team are wonderful, but there is still much basic progress to do in general. We have ways of verifying the types into the Cell Ontology (I wrote a paper about it with some HuBMAP people in the past: https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.09673.

A better place for the markers, where we can work on updating and crossing with different resources is Wikidata. Some cell types have hundreds of reported markers in the literature, so we need some kind of rule before pulling them to ~~Wikidata~~ Wikipedia. I also wrote a paper related to that: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.04.12.589259v1

There is also a mix in the table of "name", "type" and "subtype" that is not really referenced.

So, don't take it personally, but I am going to do some clean up in the article. I think the work you have been doing is wonderful. The modifications will be because we should be careful with terminology and coverage on Wikipedia. TiagoLubiana (talk) 21:53, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
